D210 Blue pajama top bearing red-brown stains
D229 Multi-colored bedspread bearing red-brown stains from east bedroom
K1 Head hair samples from Colette MacDonald
K2 Head hair samples from Kimberly MacDonald

Webmaster note


Exhibit D229 is the bedspread itself, while Exhibit E229 is hairs, fibers and miscellaneous debris removed from the bedspread. The CID Findings for Exhibit D229 refer to fibers from the pajama top (Exhibit D210), as well as hairs from Colette and Kimberley MacDonald, which are not shown as being part of the findings for Exhibit E229. It is not known why the fibers and hairs were shown in the findings for D229 instead of E229.
